Our Initial Tax Proposals
Raise the personal exemption to $20,000 for every taxpayer, to $45,000 per family with any children under the age of 18 years. Reduce the provincial income tax rate to a flat rate of 10% on income above the personal exemption for individuals and families, and to 10% for all businesses. Reduce the PST by 1% per year over a 4 year period to ultimately 4%. No prov
incial sales taxes on all food items, even those purchased within restaurants. Abolish all environmental charges on consumer items. All taxes gained from the gas tax will go to building, improving and maintaining roads across the province. Of the total tax revenues raised for education, no more than 10% will be permitted for administration. 90% or more will be spent at the school level. A Land Transfer Tax of a $250 flat fee. The abolition of the Aviation Fuel Tax. The abolition of the Payroll Tax ( the Health and Post-Secondary Education Tax Levy). Secondary Proposals
Abolish all red-light and speed cameras and mobile units, but retain those operated on the roads by police officers. Only the driver will be charged for traffic infractions. The eradication of a host of regulations that impede trade and commerce. Restoration of mineral rights to property owners. For those skeptical of the fulfillment of such pledges, income tax rates and personal exemptions will be proclaimed law on the very day the Manitoba Party after receiving its legitimate mandate to govern from the people of this province take office. All other pledges will be fulfilled within the 6 months of the allotted term of office. Are any competing political parties capable of matching such formidable pledges, of which no less a remedy is essential to confront, resolve and dispel the profound troubles of this province?
